Squat Jumps Progression

In this progression Carl builds upon his previous discussion of jumping and landing mechanics by starting and finishing from an Air Squat. Maintaining control throughout the entire movement, especially during the transition during the moment of weightlessness, is key to connect multiple jumps and increase skill transfer to other movements.

La Sentadilla

Aquí empiezo a discutir la sentadilla desde el punto de vista de rendimiento básico. Cuando decimos básico nos referimos a rendimiento general, sin agentes externos que nos afecten. Como por ejemplo, una barra.

En la sentadilla vemos dos posiciones clave.

INICIO: Erguidos, los pies a la anchura de los hombros y creando torsión.
FONDO: La cadera por debajo de las rodillas, pies planos y rodillas hacia fuera.

Si comprendemos este movimiento básico y sus principios podremos modificarlo y aplicarlo a cualquier otro movimiento que requiera extensión y flexión de cadera.

El Sistema x PMP

En este video os explico como utilizamos el concepto del cuerpo como SISTEMA y el esquema de POSICIÓN-MOVIMIENTO-PRÓPOSITO para crear, entender, explicar y desarrollar movimiento.

Todo movimiento tiene posiciones clave por las que pasa durante su ejecución. Si podemos determinar las posiciones clave en cualquier movimiento, sabremos añadir movimiento entre ellos y por lo tanto aplicarlo al próposito.
